Get an old pda that doesn't have web access. You can find them pretty cheap on ebay.

Here's a good example of a palm for $15.

Don't use it for anything other than passwords. If it has wifi access disable it. There is no reason to want to connect to the internet on these things anymore anyway. Just use it for password storage. Save all of your passwords in memos and then put a decent password on the device its self.

Keeping track of several passwords and user IDs can be very troublesome. But deciding how to treat each password depends on what it protects.

If you are dealing with a low impact data set (like an anonymous internet forum with no financial subscription); then a relatively simple password-name set used in many places will likely suffice.

For debit payment and low impact financial payment sites, I consider it acceptable to write your passwords down somewhere safe in your home office. These passwords protect things like your electric bill payment or a online pay-to-play game website.

Finally, you give the top security passwords and names to sites that may have some control over your financial status or information (bank, paypal, or Amazon). Sometimes they will force you to use your email for log in. Other times, some denomination of your name would be appropriate. The password should be secure, at least 8 characters. Of those 8; at least 2 upper case letters, 2 numbers, and 2 symbols. These passwords should be memorized, not recorded. Inspiration for the passwords should relate to the information they protect.

Now, generating secure passwords is fairly straight forward. I like to take a song lyric or famous sentence and transform it into a password. Here is my favorite system for creating passwords.

Best of luck!

I just use the same password - 6ug98irTO - for everything.

My husband and I write them down in a notebook. I know this is probably "old school", but it seems to be the best way for us to keep track of them. It has actually worked out really well for us.

i separate the letter and make them into words, for example if it was ghusg8, separate it into a sentance like "g hus gate" it doesn;t have to make sense as long as you can remember it.

I worked in an IT company where we had about 4 passwords to remember before we could log in at work, and they made us change them constantly, and no, we couldn't write them down either and they had numbers and letters etc....so after years! of this I think my method works fairly well.

I have a string of words, like a familiar phrase, that I rotate. I include area codes of phone numbers ( old ones not ones associated with my current area ) as well.

For example, "Felix the wonderful cat" and an code like "022"
gives you things like

Felix022thecat
wonderfulcat022
0Felixwonderful22
022FTWC

then I only have to remember the combination at the time or go through the last few if I do forget one

However, if you really have too many get a password manager like one of the other answers suggested :)
